Traces of cultivated emmer wheat have been found among the earliest agricultural remains of many archaeological sites in Europe and Asia. The only place where the wild form of emmer wheat has been found growing is a relatively narrow strip of southwest Asia. Since the oldest remains of cultivated emmer wheat yet found are from village sites in the same narrow strip, it is clear that emmer wheat was first domesticated somewhere in that strip.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
The present-day distribution of another wild wheat, einkorn, which was also domesticated early in the development of agriculture, covers a much larger area of southwest Asia.
Modern experiments show that wild emmer wheat can easily be domesticated so as to yield nearly as well as traditionally domestic strains.
At the time when emmer wheat was first cultivated, it was the most nutritious of all the varieties of grain that were then cultivated.
In the region containing the strip where wild emmer wheat has been found, climatic conditions have changed very little since before the development of agriculture.
It is very difficult, without genetic testing, to differentiate the wild form of emmer wheat from a closely related wild wheat that also grows in southwest Asia.

※ 文章非常狡猾:
一定要注意【前提句P & 结论句C】 中各自的【指代对象】。
本题出现两个事物(类比题):A(种植的小麦)和 B(野生的小麦),问B怎么变成A。
A:【cultivated emmer wheat种植的小麦】← →【the oldest remains of cultivated emmer wheat 指代前文の种植的小麦】
B:**wild form of emmer wheat 野生的小麦**← → **emmer wheat 指代前文の野生的小麦**
同义词:种植的 cultivated= domesticated
原文:
Traces of 【cultivated emmer wheat种植的小麦】 have been found among the 【earliest agricultural remains】 of many archaeological sites in Europe and Asia.
The only place where the **wild form of emmer wheat 野生的小麦** has been found growing is a relatively narrow strip of southwest Asia.
Since 【the oldest remains of cultivated emmer wheat 指代前文の种植的小麦】yet found are from village sites in the same narrow strip, it is clear that **emmer wheat 指代前文の野生的小麦** was 【first domesticated】 somewhere in that strip.
~~~
在E&A早期农业遗址(①地) 发现了cultivated E(种植的小麦)。
在sA地发现 wild E(野生的小麦)的地方只有一处,即narrow strip(②地)
P ∵ cultivated E的最早发现地(①)是在同一片的narrow strip(②)
C ∴ E首次种植(first domesticated)在这片区域。
问题:How 增强
D 从种植前的年代开始,wild E (野生的小麦)所在这片区域气候没什么变化climatic conditions have changed very little
∈排他增强,即,控制其他条件不变(√)
A 讨论其他小麦 another wild wheat, einkorn,无关
B 谈产量yield,无关
